Broken Wings
by Linda L. Dowd

When skies are gray and I am blue,
I long for peace and inner calm.
When shadows cast a dark imbue,
A nature walk soothes me like balm.

When dreams are dashed and luck runs low,
I won’t give up ~ for this I know,
That better times lie ‘round the bend,
And broken wings will surely mend.

Wings are fragile and so easily broken.
It takes a great deal of care to mend them, and time.
I hope you get lots and lots of time.
Thanks for the write.

A worthy legacy is the irrevocable consequence of dreaming.

Hey!  I am the Duct Tape Queen. You need wing mending?  You need heart fixing?  You need cookies uncrumbled?  Just see me.

"A nature walk soothes me like balm."

Now this I know to be absolutely true!

I'll be thinking of you...

Love you Linda Lou.

Y'know,
every time I see your name,
I hear the song...

and it is always a delight
when I can light upon your poems.

Rick, that was a very sensitive and kind reply! Thank you!

My wings are gently being mending my the silken threads of kindness of my family and friends.

Warm hug,

Linda
